The 4.2l straight 6 engine is tough as bullets and one hardly every hear about problems with these engines. The handle dirty diesel extremely well and certainly is Africa tough.
There is a few 76 series vehicles in LCCSA. (www.landcruiserclub.co.za)
Here is a review written by Riaan...
Well spotted. I have three camera mounts on the vehicle. If the terrain allows I mount a camera on the bullbar that records permanently. :)
The other camera are mounted on the A pillar inside the vehicle and on the roofrack via a suction mount. :)
You can get it in ZA from a company named Jackal-Berry.

It might be cheaper to copy the concept and it it locally made if you don't stay in ZA.
Cool Cool Andre :) Shocks are OME, matched to the OME springs.
Petrol in Africa? In Southern Africa petrol is fairly available in either leaded or unleaded format. On my recent trip to namibia some of the pumps ran dry on diesel, yet petrol was still available. It is quite ironic and not...

Yea, the Defender roll was pretty hectic. The doors of modern vehicles are meant to stay close but the Defender has external hinges that grinded off and the poor support of the alu frame caused enough flex for the doors to pop open. But enough of that.
My rig is indeed a manual...
Eish, setting me up far a fall. :flipoff2:
In ZA petrol vs diesel debates sparks up a thread and always ends in some or other fight.
Over the past few years I have owned 7 4x4's of which 3 were diesels. My last diesel was the 120 Series Prado Cruiser. With 96kw and 343Nm it is a fine...

Those black lines are velcro. (straight of a HP server farm rack) Its rather handy to tie a bag to a tree etc and easy to find on the AO drawer system. :)

In 2005 I finally acquired my 2000 model, 1FZ-FE, 105 series with 117 000km on the clock after spending close to 10 years looking for the perfect trail and overlanding vehicle. The vehicle was in pretty much...

I have figured it out. The Back wire with blue trace gets a 12v signal from the transfer case when LR gets selected (The Transfer L Position Detection switch close the circuit in thus supply the 12v).
When in HR the voltage is 0V thus once can not engage the lockers. I have...

I have taken photos of the two pages of diagrams. I have left it fairly large for detail (3MB each). Here is the link to it. It is from the Max Ellery repair manual.

I would appreciate if you would post the diagram. The 105 series is much closer to the 80 series in many ways and in other ways close to the 100. I just need some guideance here. :)
Can I supply any 12v source to the cut wire? Is the new connection point where I connect the 12v...
Reviving an old thread...
Has anyone else done this?
Do I understand it correctly that I can simply tap into the Blue Wire with black line and permanent connect 12v to it? This will allow me to use the locker in hi-range?
NamKga 2007 Trip Report (Namibia and Kgalagadi)
I have always wanted to do the Nossob 4x4 Eco trip and 2007 was the year for it to happen. Booking the tour is easy, but one of the requirements is to overnight at Nossob campsite the night before the start of the trail and Nossob was fully...
